Thanks for posting this as I wish I could be there to see it all. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Will you be there, MacMirza?

Wallace 700
I'll be at Lanark for the celebrations that weekend.

Oh Cu Dubh! Will you really? I got an invitation in the mail from a friend in Scotland to be there. I was so jazzed. I use it as a bookmark! I have other friends who will be in Lanark as well. I really did plan my trip to Scotland the wrong year, me thinks. I would so love to be there and witness it all. Will you tell us all about how it went and show us pics too?

Aye sure thing CR...
...Ach chan eil mi nam dhealbhadair mhath!
It should be a great weekend anyway.

Aye, I will be both in Stonehaven and in London.

Cheers

Cu Dubh! Like your new avatar. If you care to share, who is that and what kind of uniform?

Well lucky you, MacMirza. Are you participating in the walk? You both do let us know how it went, ok?

Hi CR. Sorry i'm not round much at the moment, but the weather is just to nice in Scotland not to take advantage of it. When it's starts raining again i'll be on more.
The soldier in my avatar is my Great Grandfather and he was a Gordon Highlander. I'm very proud of him & that photo. Shame all our Scottish regiments have dissapeared over recent years.

Very nice Cu Dubh! I wondered if he was a relation to you. yes, very sad about the Scottish regiments.

Yes, I'll be there. Nae worries, will stick some photos on my website when I am back.

Meanwhile, I posted many photos from my last year's visit to Scotland.
